PREFACE 


^This  little  volume  is  designed  for  *small 
children  ;  and  the  only  merit  the  author  claims, 
is,  that  it  is  adapted  to  the  young  mind. 

Since  children  very  rarely  learn  to  read  in 
the  Primer,  avg  deem  it,  unnecessary  to  take 
up  much  space  with  reading  lessons. 

The  competent  teacher  will  understand  how 
to  use  the  work.

MARY'S    LITTI4E  .LAMB. 


^Mary    had    a    little    lamb, 

Its   fleece   was    white   as   snow  3 
And   every  where    that    Mary   went 
The   lamb   was   sure   to    ero. 


&^ 


lie    followed    her  .-to    school    one    day, 

Which   was   against   the   rule — 
It   made    the    children   laugh    and    play 
To   see   a   lamb   at  school. 

So   the    teacher   turned   him    out, 
But   still    he    lingered    near; 

And   waited   patiently  about, 
Till    Mary  did   appear. 

And    then   he    ran    to   her   and    laid 
"Ills   head   upon   her   arm ;         , 

As    'f  he    said,    I'm    not   afraid, 
You'll    keep   me   from    all   harm.* 


I   WANT   TO    BE    xVN    ANGEL. 

I    want   to   be   an    angel, 

And    with    the   angels   stand, 

A    crown    upon    my    forehead, 
A    harp    within    my    hand. 

There    right   before    the    Saviour 
So    o-lorious    and    so    bright, 


I  'd    make    the    sweetest   music, 
And  prais6   Him  day  and  night. 

I    never   should    be    weary, 

Nor   ever    shed    a   tear; 
Nor   ever   know    a   serroW, 

Nor   ever   feel   a    fear. 
But   blessed,    pure    and    holy, 

I'd    dwell    in    Jesus'    sight, 
And  with  ten  thousand  thousand. 

Praise  Him  both  day  and  night. 

I    know    I  'm    weak    and    sinful. 

But   Jesus   wiil    forgive, 
For    many    little    children' 

Have    gone   to    Heaven    to    live. 
Bear    Saviour,    when    I    languish* 

And    lay   m©   down    to   die, 
O    send    a   shining   angel 

To   bear   me    lo   the    sk3\ 

O    there   I  '11    be    an    angel. 

And    with    the    angels  stand, 
A    crown    upon    my   forehead, 

A    harp   within    my    hand  ; 
And    there   before   my    Saviour, 

So    glorious   and   so   bright, 
I'll   join    the    heavenly    mii?ic, 

And   praise  him  day  and  night.
